A-1. The drawing shows the projections of a set of soccer goal posts. A ball is positioned at P for two penalty kicks during a World Cup match. The ball travels in a straight line and hits the net each time.

(a) The line PS, in plan, shows the start of the flight path of the ball for the 1st penalty kick. The ball crosses

the goal line at a height that is halfway between the ground and the crossbar. Draw the projections of the

full flight path.

(b) Similarly, the line PT,

which makes an angle of 15° with the ground,

shows the flight path of the ball for the 2nd penalty kick.

Draw the projections

of the full flight path.

A-2. The 3D graphic below shows a piece of

play equipment from a science museum. It includes a truncated hexagonal prism.

The drawing on the right shows the incomplete projections of a similar

hexagonal prism which has been cut by the oblique plane VTH.

An auxiliary elevation is also given.

(a) Complete the plan and elevation of

the cut prism.

(b) Determine the true shape of the

cut surface.

A-3. The 3D graphic below shows a tagine, which is a type of clay oven frequently used in North African cooking. The drawing on the right shows the incomplete elevation of the tagine. The upper “lid” is based on two

semi-parabolas which are inscribed in rectangles and the lower dish is based on a semi-ellipse.

(a) V1 and V2 are the vertices of

the semi-parabolas. P is a point on the semi-ellipse.

Small portions of two of the curves have already been

drawn. Complete the elevation of the tagine. Show clearly

how the exact length of the base is obtained.

projection of the tennis court and the net.
